Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de commande de modulation du couple d'un moteur thermique associé à une boîte de vitesses automatique, notamment pour véhicules automobiles de tourisme.The present invention relates to a method for controlling the torque modulation of an internal combustion engine associated with an automatic gearbox, in particular for passenger motor vehicles.

On sait que le principal problème rencontré avec les boîtes de vitesses automatiques est celui du confort des passages de vitesses : il convient en effet de réaliser un compromis entre la brièveté du temps de passage, et le confort du passage des vitesses.We know that the main problem encountered with automatic gearboxes is that of the comfort of shifting: it is indeed necessary to achieve a compromise between the shortness of the shift time, and the comfort of shifting.

La publication EP 0.011.088 décrit à ce sujet un procédé pour influencer un moteur à combustion interne et une installation pour la mise en application de ce procédé. Selon ce procédé, le couple moteur est réduit pendant les changements de vitesses entre deux valeurs de la vitesse de rotation du moteur, déterminées à partir de la vitesse de rotation du moteur lors du déclenchement du changement de vitesse. Cette technique de modulation, ou d'estompage du couple pendant les passages de vitesses est également illustrée par la publication FR 2.635.597 de la demanderesse. Ce document prévoit notamment de commander la modulation par l'intermédiaire d'un signal tout ou rien modulé en durée agissant, selon le type de moteur sur le boîtier d'allumage du moteur à allumage commandé, sur le boîtier de commande de la pompe Diesel électronifiée ou encore, si le moteur est Diesel turbo-compressé, sur une électrovanne pneumatique à trois voies faisant communiquer la chambre de travail du poumon de la pompe à injection avec l'atmosphère. Enfin un point important de la technique divulguée par ce document consiste en ce que lors des passages montants, la valeur de la vitesse de rotation du moteur prise en compte pour provoquer la modulation du couple n'est pas celle à l'instant du déclenchement du changement de vitesses, mais la valeur maximale atteinte postérieurement au déclenchement.The publication EP 0.011.088 describes on this subject a method for influencing an internal combustion engine and an installation for implementing this method. According to this method, the engine torque is reduced during the gear changes between two values of the engine speed, determined from the engine speed when the gear change is triggered. This technique of modulating, or blurring the torque during gear changes is also illustrated by the publication FR 2,635,597 of the applicant. This document provides in particular for controlling the modulation by means of an all-or-nothing signal modulated in duration acting, depending on the type of engine on the ignition box of the spark-ignition engine, on the control box of the diesel pump. electronically or, if the engine is turbo-compressed diesel, on a pneumatic three-way solenoid valve communicating the working chamber of the injection pump lung with the atmosphere. Finally, an important point of the technique disclosed by this document consists in that during ascending passages, the value of the speed of rotation of the motor taken into account to cause the modulation of the torque is not that at the instant of the initiation of the gear change, but the maximum value reached after the initiation.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un procédé de commande de modulation du couple adapté à chaque type de moteur associé à une boîte de comande de vitesses, de manière à réduire le temps de passage à confort constant, ou à améliorer le confort sans augmenter le temps de passage.The object of the present invention is to propose a torque modulation control method adapted to each type of engine associated with a gearbox, so as to reduce the shift time at constant comfort, or to improve comfort without increase the passage time.

Cette solution concerne un procédé de commande de modulation du couple d'un moteur Diesel à pompe d'injection électronifiée turbo-compressé ou non, associé à une boîte de vitesses automatique, selon lequel le boîtier électronique de commande de la boîte de vitesses agit lors des passages montants du rapport N au rapport N + 1 sur le boîtier de commande de la pompe Diesel électronifiée, au moyen d'une liaison unidirectionnelle et unifilaire, par un signal unique en tout ou rien, dont le début et la fin sont déterminés par l'information vitesse moteur Ωm de manière que: Ω m début = k₁ · Ω m max

Figure imgb0001
et Ω m fin = k₂ · Ω m max·
Figure imgb0002
K₁ et k₂ étant des constantes telles que k₂ < k₁ et Ω m max
Figure imgb0003
représentant la valeur maximale atteinte par la vitesse du moteur dans les premiers instants du passage du rapport N au rapport N + 1, de manière à réduire le couple moteur lors du passage des vitesses. Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce que lors des passages montants, le signal unique provoque une réduction maximale de la consigne de débit de gazole jusqu'à une valeur minimale, avec un front de montée et un front de descente abrupts.This solution relates to a torque modulation control method of a diesel engine with a turbo-compressed or uncompressed electronic injection pump, associated with an automatic gearbox, according to which the electronic control unit of the gearbox acts during up passages from the N ratio to the N + 1 ratio on the control box of the electronified Diesel pump, by means of a unidirectional and single-wire connection, by a single all-or-nothing signal, the start and end of which are determined by motor speed information Ω m so that: Ω m start = k₁ · Ω m max
Figure imgb0001
and Ω m end = k₂ · Ω m max ·
Figure imgb0002
K₁ and k₂ being constants such that k₂ <k₁ and Ω m max
Figure imgb0003
representing the maximum value reached by the speed of the engine in the first moments of the shift from gear N to gear N + 1, so as to reduce the engine torque when shifting gears. This process is characterized in that during rising passages, the single signal causes a maximum reduction in the diesel flow setpoint to a minimum value, with a front of steep ascent and descent.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de commande de modulation du couple d'un moteur Diesel associé à une boîte de vitesses automatique, selon lequel le boîtier électronique de commande de la boîte de vitesses agit lors des passages descendants du rapport N au rapport N - 1 ou N - 2 sur le boîtier de commande de la pompe Diesel électronifiée au moyen d'une liaison unidirectionnelle et unifilaire par un signal double composé de deux signaux élémentaires à niveau constant d'une durée égale à une durée de seuil T seuil, le début du premier signal intervenant à l'issue d'une durée T₁ par rapport au début du passage du rapport N au rapport N - 1 ou N - 2, et les deux signaux élémentaires étant séparés par une durée T₂ telles que T₁ = f₁ (passage N/N-i, Ωm) et T₂ = f₂ (passage N/N-i, Ωm) où f₁ et f₂ sont fonctions du passage et de la vitesse du moteur, et i = 1 ou 2. Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce que le premier signal provoque un front de descente abrupt de l'alimentation jusqu'à une consigne de débit constante et indépendante de la position de l'accélérateur, et en ce que le second signal provoque une reprise progressive de la consigne de débit de gazole.The invention also relates to a torque modulation control method of a diesel engine associated with an automatic gearbox, according to which the electronic gearbox control unit acts during downshifts from the N ratio to the N ratio - 1 or N - 2 on the control box of the diesel pump electronified by means of a unidirectional and single-line connection by a double signal composed of two elementary signals at constant level with a duration equal to a threshold duration T threshold, the start of the first signal occurring at the end of a duration T₁ relative to the start of the transition from the ratio N to the ratio N - 1 or N - 2, and the two elementary signals being separated by a duration T₂ such that T₁ = f₁ ( passage N / Ni, Ω m ) and T₂ = f₂ (passage N / Ni, Ω m ) where f₁ and f₂ are functions of the passage and the speed of the motor, and i = 1 or 2. This process is characterized in that the first signal causes a abrupt falling edge of the supply to a constant flow setpoint independent of the position of the accelerator, and in that the second signal causes a gradual resumption of the diesel flow setpoint.

Le procédé de commande de modulation du couple d'un moteur thermique selon l'invention concerne notamment une boîte de vitesses automatique gérée par un boîtier électronique de commande. Ce boîtier électronique de commande agit sur un organe de commande dudit moteur au moyen d'une liaison unidirectionnelle et unifilaire, par un signal de modulation du couple, afin d'agir sur le couple moteur lors du passage des vitesses.The torque modulation control method of an internal combustion engine according to the invention relates in particular to an automatic gearbox managed by an electronic control unit. This electronic control unit acts on a control member of said motor by means of a unidirectional and single-wire connection, by a torque modulation signal, in order to act on the motor torque during the shifting of gears.

Pour un moteur Diesel à pompe d'injection électronifiée, à aspiration naturelle ou turbo-compressé, le boîtier de commande de la pompe Diesel électronifiée est l'organe de commande qui reçoit le signal de modulation du couple en provenance du boîtier électronique de commande de la boîte de vitesses automatique.For a Diesel engine with an electronically injected pump, naturally aspirated or turbo-compressed, the control unit of the electronic diesel pump is the control unit which receives the torque modulation signal from the electronic control unit of the automatic gearbox.

Pour les passages en montant du rapport N au rapport N + 1, le signal de modulation est un signal unique à niveau constant d'une durée T. Cette durée T est comprise entre une durée minimale Tmin et une durée maximale T max. Le temps initial et le temps final sont déterminés par l'information vitesse moteur Ωm de manière que: Ω m début = k₁ · Ω m max

Figure imgb0009
représentant la valeur maximale atteinte par la vitesse du moteur Ωm dans les premiers instants du passage du rapport N au rapport N + 1.For the passages in amount from the ratio N to the ratio N + 1, the modulation signal is a single signal at constant level with a duration T. This duration T is comprised between a minimum duration Tmin and a maximum duration T max. The initial time and the final time are determined by the motor speed information Ω m so that: Ω m start = k₁ · Ω m max

and Ω m end = k₂ · Ω m max ·

K₁ and k₂ being constants such that k₂ <k₁ and Ω m max
Figure imgb0009
representing the maximum value reached by the motor speed Ω m in the first moments of the transition from the N ratio to the N + 1 ratio.

Comme il apparaît sur les figures 1 et 2, le signal unique de modulation de couple provoque une réduction maximale de la consigne de débit de gazole jusqu'à une valeur minimale qm, les fronts de descente et de montée du signal de consigne de débit de gazole étant abrupts.As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the single torque modulation signal causes a maximum reduction of the diesel flow setpoint to a minimum value q m , the falling and rising edges of the flow setpoint signal of diesel being abrupt.

Pour les passages en descendant du rapport N au rapport N - 1 ou N - 2 du moteur Diesel à pompe d'injection électronifiée, le signal de modulation est un signal double composé de deux signaux élémentaires identiques à niveau constant d'une durée égale à Tseuil.For the passages down from the N ratio to the N - 1 or N - 2 ratio of the Diesel engine with an electronically injected injection pump, the modulation signal is a double signal composed of two identical elementary signals at constant level with a duration equal to Tseuil.

Le début du premier signal se produit à l'issue d'une durée T₁ par rapport au début du passage du rapport N au rapport N - 1 ou N - 2, et les deux signaux sont séparés par une durée T₂ telles que : T₁ = f₁ (passage N/N-i, Ω m )

Figure imgb0010
T₂ = f₂ (passage N/N-i, Ω m )
Figure imgb0011
où f₁ et f₂ sont des fonctions 1 et 2 et i = 1,2.The start of the first signal occurs at the end of a duration T₁ relative to the start of the transition from the ratio N to the ratio N - 1 or N - 2, and the two signals are separated by a duration T₂ such that: T₁ = f₁ (passage N / Ni, Ω m )
Figure imgb0010
T₂ = f₂ (passage N / Ni, Ω m )
Figure imgb0011
where f₁ and f₂ are functions 1 and 2 and i = 1.2.

Comme il apparaît sur les figures 3, 4 et 5, le premier signal élémentaire provoque une consigne de débit de gazole constante qd quelle que soit la consigne de l'accélérateur, avec un front initial abrupt, et le second signal élémentaire provoque une reprise progressive.As it appears in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the first elementary signal causes a constant diesel flow setpoint q d whatever the accelerator setpoint, with a steep initial edge, and the second elementary signal causes a recovery progressive.

Une variante de l'invention, applicable à tout type de moteur pour les passages en descendant du rapport N au raport N - 1 ou N - 2, se caractérise par un signal de modulation double composé de deux signaux élémentaires identiques à niveau constant d'une durée égale à une valeur Tseuil.A variant of the invention, applicable to any type of motor for passages down from the ratio N to the ratio N - 1 or N - 2, is characterized by a double modulation signal composed of two identical elementary signals at constant level of a duration equal to a Tseuil value.
